• Deep Purple

  

  When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls
  And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
  In the mist of a memory you wander on back to me
  Breathing my name with a sigh

  In the still of the night once again I hold you tight
  Though you're gone, your love lives on when moonlight beams
  And as long as my heart will beat, sweet lover we'll always meet
  Here in my deep purple dreams
  Here in my deep purple dreams

  

  For some reason, that song is stuck in my head today. I remember the Donny & Marie version from my childhood. The tune was catchy, but it's kinda creepy to hear a brother and sister singing it, especially when Marie speaks the lyrics (which would just be horribly cheesy if it wasn't her brother singing with her). Oh the things that flew over my innocent adolescent head! Anyway, I found this version by Sarah Vaughn that's how the song was intended to be sung (in other words, not bubblegum pop). Let's see if I can figure out hot to embed it.
